So busy – but all fun. I have to remind myself – it’s all fun. Which is mainly is. Friday night we hosted Ben and Ali from California burrito night. They were staying in DC and Ben was going to come by himself to Rockville, but we’d never met Ali before even though they’ve been going out for five years and Jeremy sees Ben at least once a year in the Bay Area. Anyways, we told Ben about Carmen’s – our ice cream store – and Ben convinced Ali to come out to Rockville and when Ali saw how long the line was on a warm Friday night, she was delighted! Apparently nothing delights Ali more than a line to indicate the desirability of a food item.

Saturday night was a music fundraiser at the church. I will post videos of my two contributions. Please don’t make too much fun of me.

Our refrigerator broke again. I’ve known what was wrong with it for a long time, but I couldn’t ever figure out how to get to where I needed to go. So I always knew I was fixing it temporarily. But thanks to Jeremy who helped me get over a problem I could never solve, I really think I fixed it this time. Every time the fridge breaks, we need to take everything out, put it in coolers and wait for the fridge to defrost. Jeremy is very unhappy during this time. It’s the same way I feel when the washing machine or dryer goes down. But I think when the fridge goes down, I don’t even really care and I think it is also true of Jeremy when the laundry grinds to a halt. It just shows how we view the tasks in the house. It’s not only that I like fixing machines, but the fact that I’m also very comfortable contorting myself in small spaces that helps me fix appliances in the house. While the fridge was broken for about 24 hours, Jeremy looked at new fridges and there are a lot of new fridges including a delux one which was $9,000 – way out of our budget. But after I fixed the fridge, I was like – I just saved $9000 today. Not bad.
